Boghill Farm Development Opportunity BOGHILL FARM LESMAHAGOW, LANARK, SOUTH LANARKSHIRE, ML11 9PY DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITY BOGHILL FARM HAWKSHEAD ROAD, LESMAHAGOW, LANARK, SOUTH LANARKSHIRE, ML11 9PY | 03 BOGHILL FARM Boghill Farm was formerly a beef farm and comprises extensive farm buildings and associated hardstanding. The total area of land for sale extends to approximately 20.98 acres (8.49 hectares), which includes an area of grazing land of approximately 15.46 acres (6.26 hectares). Planning permission has been approved (CL/17/0124) for the re-development of the farm buildings into a mixed residential/ commercial development of seven newly constructed detached villas, re-development of existing farmhouse, erection of an equestrian/ stud facility with associated temporary residential accommodation, the formation of vehicular access and regrading of existing levels. The commercial development is well distanced from the residential area. The regraded existing mound to be planted will provide both a physical and visual buffer between the two areas. 02 | BOGHILL FARM HAWKSHEAD ROAD, LESMAHAGOW, LANARK, SOUTH LANARKSHIRE, ML11 9PY BOGHILL FARM HAWKSHEAD ROAD, LESMAHAGOW, LANARK, SOUTH LANARKSHIRE, ML11 9PY | 05 A FANTASTIC DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITY SITUATED AMID SPECTACULAR ROLLING SOUTH LANARKSHIRE COUNTRYSIDE EXTENDING TO APPROXIMATELY 20.98 ACRES 04 | BOGHILL FARM HAWKSHEAD ROAD, LESMAHAGOW, LANARK, SOUTH LANARKSHIRE, ML11 9PY 06 | BOGHILL FARM HAWKSHEAD ROAD, LESMAHAGOW, LANARK, SOUTH LANARKSHIRE, ML11 9PY Farm Buildings A Variety of sheds are located to the rear of the farmhouse and include a large cattle court (55m x 30m) with an extension (36m x 22m), two slatted courts (each approximately 36m x 11m) and a further court to the east (36m x 6m).

Once the site is developed, it has been proposed that the farmhouse will sit on a site of 2100m2. Displaying a splendid frontage, the farmhouse offers flexible accommodation, formed over a two- storey layout. In essence, the front of the property belies the spacious accommodation internally. The farmhouse requires a level of re-decoration, modernisation and upgrading. A prospective purchaser has a blank canvas to re-configure the farmhouse to their taste and style. Once completed, the property will offer well-proportioned room sizes with an abundance of living space, making this a super development opportunity for a builder/investor. The farmhouse could also be divided into smaller units or extended into the attached bothy to provide further accommodation (STPP). Farmhouse Accommodation Ground Floor Entrance Hall with Cloakroom Lounge Dining Room Kitchen Rear Hallway with Family Room and Utility Room First Floor Three Bedrooms. Master with en-suite Bathroom Shower Room. Oil Central Heating The property is accessed via a track, which leads to a spacious courtyard giving access to the farmhouse and the outbuildings. The grounds benefit from tremendous views into the distance, which can be enjoyed from several vantage points. There is ample parking available within the courtyard. 14 | BOGHILL FARM HAWKSHEAD ROAD, LESMAHAGOW, LANARK, SOUTH LANARKSHIRE, ML11 9PY 16 | BOGHILL FARM HAWKSHEAD ROAD, LESMAHAGOW, LANARK, SOUTH LANARKSHIRE, ML11 9PY SPECIFICATIONS & DETAILS Approximate Dimensions (Taken from the widest point) Ground Floor Lounge 5.50m (18’1”) x 3.70m (12’2”) Dining Room 5.50m (18’1”) x 4.60m (15’1”) Kitchen 5.10m (16’9”) x 4.00m (13’1”) Utility 1.80m (5’11”) x 1.80m (5’11”) Family Room/Bedroom 4 5.70m (18’8”) x 3.60m (11’10”) WC 1.70m (5’7”) x 1.70m (5’7”) First Floor Master Bedroom 5.40m (17’9”) x 4.00m (13’1”) Shower Room 2.00m (6’7”) x 1.42m (4’8”) En-suite 3.40m (11’2”) x 2.70m (8’10”) Bedroom 2 3.70m (12’2”) x 2.70m (8’10”) Bedroom 3 2.90m (9’6”) x 2.70m (8’10”) BOGHILL FARM HAWKSHEAD ROAD, LESMAHAGOW, LANARK, SOUTH LANARKSHIRE, ML11 9PY | 17 18 | BOGHILL FARM HAWKSHEAD ROAD, LESMAHAGOW, LANARK, SOUTH LANARKSHIRE, ML11 9PY LESMAHAGOW The sloping site is located within the rural area at Boghill Farm, approximately 400 metres to the east of the village of Brocketsbrae.

Phone: 0303 123 1015 Email: [email protected] www.southlanarkshire.gov.uk Lanarkshire LEADER Socio Economic Analysis 2015 The socio-economic character of the LAG can be profiled from the analysis of data-zone- level data. A data-zone represents between 500 and 1000 people and represents the lowest level for which data are published by the Scottish Government. For ease of interpretation, the data-zones for the towns are enlarged in boxes at the edge of the maps. The dates on the maps represent the latest available data in that category. Apart from the maps of SIMD ranks (which are based on the Scottish quartiles), the quartiles are based on the quartiles for the Lanarkshire LAG. They thus describe the internal variation within Lanarkshire. Additionally, maps showing change in variables over time show positive and negative changes grouped into categories. Where appropriate, the comparison with Scotland can be made by reference to the LAG average and the Scottish average. Demography Overall there is a distinct pattern of population change with a gain of over 11% between 2003-2013 compared to a gain of just over 5.3% in Scotland over the same time period. All other demographic ratios (% young people; % old people; dependency ratios) were very close to the Scottish average.
